How does he bounce back? By announcing a exciting new project that - he and Paramount hope - audiences are going to be doing backflips for, that’s how! Inspired by Stallone’s Rocky Balboa bookend, Travolta has had talks with 5555 regarding reprising Tony Manero for a third (though I can imagine they’ll probably skip over the events of Staying Alive) and final time. The disco-king would, like his portrayer, be in his late 50’s now - so can’t imagine there’ll be a lot of dancing in the film… or would there? Travolta can apparently still cut a rug… maybe the new film will see the one-time paint-store employee returning to the dance floor to show the young ones how it’s done? I’m quite keen to see what they come up with, if it comes together. Meantime, Travolta’s no longer attached to play J.R Ewing in the long-planned Dallas movie - the film has been canned in favor of a TV reboot of the ’80s soap.
